Youth Uprising, the powerhouse East Oakland nonprofit, didn't mark its sixth anniversary quietly.

If the turnout, enthusiasm and innovative ideas found at an event welcoming David Muhammad as Alameda County's Chief Probation Officer were any indicator, sweeping changes are in store for juvenile and adult probation.
